perhaps he just wanted his soldiers to be more agile and quick, since they are very much like the Tengu’s from MGS2 with their bouncing about and clinging to walls.
That wouldn’t explain an exclusively female army. Apparently, if a totally average male and female work out at the same rate, the male will be quicker and more agile, but the female will be more flexible. That isn’t supposed to be a dirty joke or anything. I heard it from a fitness instructor. Of course, he was kind of a weird guy, so… You know what? Never mind.

As for the Beauty and the Beast all being females, again I figured that just stuck with the Beauty part of the titles. So, they avoided males.
So, the selection process for Ocelot’s inner-circle of private soldiers is based entirely upon a flare for literary puns? Dammit, Kojima! That’s just stupid!

If these women had such screwed up childhoods, wouldn’t they seek out, like, counceling or something. Given the choice, I think they would choose therapy to healing-through-robot-armor any day. Maybe I’m looking at this a little too closely, but it seems sorta unlikely.
